VirtualBox support 64bit system too

VirtualBox is capable running on 64-bit OS, after I read an article. In virtualbox.org website, the word "x86" is referring to 32bit as well 64-bit, somebody in IRC #vbox channel, telling me that x86 = 32bit = 64bit, but my understanding is that x86 is referring to 32bit system only.

Whatever it is, now I am very happy to know about it is now can run on my 64bit Debian Lenny 5.0 and I plan to try to install it soon.

Some articles mentioned not to mix with multiple virtualization technology, but after reading the VirtualBox manual and feedback from IRC #vbox, it is OK to run together with my VMware Server 2.0 because both are software-based and not hardware-based virtual machines.
